Anker B08G4RLLYT Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro Tr (Open Box)

Super cute and stylish. I ordered the pink earbuds because the color matched my phone quite well among all the fancy bells and whitels such as, custom eq settings, noise canceling, and great battery life. I had previously researched the Anchor Liberty line if products before my purchase and I landed on these beautiful works of art. My review is based off of 13 days and 120 hours of use. Pros: They play music and podcasts quite nicely. The texture of the case and buds are nice to the touch. Rapid earbud charging was a major life saver. Blue tooth connection is solid and not effected by microwave ovens being used nearby. Cons: They are absolutely brutal on my ears, please note not my ear cannal, but that little ridge right above your ear cannal that you probably never noticed was there. The bud rests heavily on that ridge and causes irritation, at first it wasn't bad all new earbuds have a littke but of discomfort with them at first. But it got so progressively worse im going back to wearing LG tone actives (about 6500 play hours) until I can get a different pair of earbuds. I was doing anything and everything I could to make these work, even going as far as to flip them upside down and put them in oposite ears. Only resulting in extreem discomfort for my ear all around. I would like to mention I do not have small ears or even "normal" or standard sized ears. Nope I have larger ears with pronounced ridges. They did seem to be a bit softer than my LG Tone Actives or even my Samasung Icon Xs, meaning I had to crank them higher to get them to preform on a similar level. Sometimes the noise passthrough fuction would be engaged upon first use of the day despite me always having it tured off, to help conserve battery. Battery life is a crap shoot. Some days I get 3 hours of playback @ 60% volume no noise canceling or pass theough or somedays its 6.5 hours under the same parameters. I have experienced the earbuds connecting while I was on the phone with them sitting on my desk, properly nesteled in their case. This was quite frustrating as I kept missing important parts of my phone call, I had to turn off my Bluetooth connection to get them to stop. Finally the case as nice and well designed as it is has on many occasions slid oppen inside of my jeans pockets. Honestly if you only plan to use these for a few hours every couple of days and you need them to be cute, go for it. They are decent on sound quality. But if you are looking for a pair of work horse earbuds that are going to be used 10+ hours a day, hard pass unless you like your earse feeling like ground hamburger.
